Saint-Lambert Days

Thank you and see you next year!
The 2022 Saint-Lambert Days is already over. We thank you for your participation and we hope that you will join us next year for the 47th edition.

In keeping with tradition, this year Saint-Lambert Days will be back in full swing on Victoria Avenue from August 26 to 28. The event promises to be highly entertaining and full of tempting offers. It’s also a time for catching up with neighbours, getting to know new Saint-Lambert residents, or reconnecting with long-established residents, many of whom will be delighted at the return of this longstanding tradition.

What better way to wind up summer than three days of festive fun!
